A non-league footballer tried an extravagant throw-in and was trolled hard by the opposition

Talk about throwing an opportunity away.
Talk about throwing an opportunity away. Talk about throwing an opportunity away.

When you’re down in the relegation zone, a little laughter can go a long way.

That seems to be what Gainsborough Trinity are going for – the National League North side are 20th in the division, but they didn’t let that get in the way of a good chuckle at an opposition player’s expense.

Facing Brackley Town, Trinity conceded a throw-in – it was at that point that a Brackley player took up the opportunity for a novel throw-in…

The result of the flip was, rather hilariously, a foul throw – the jeers that filled the stadium thereafter summed the whole thing up.

Cue circus music and several replays of the botched set-piece. An entirely appropriate response if you ask us.

Brackley fans responded to the throw-in in their own way, chanting “We’re taking the p***…” which to be fair, they were.
